![]() This book was not anything close to what I had been expecting and I’m still not sure what the fuck I read. Reading Majesty felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I absolutely adored American Royals and I was really looking forward to reading this sequel. I’m a huge fan of Katherine McGee’s books: they’re full of delicious drama, juicy secrets, complex characters, and angsty romance. ![]() If I was going to predict my biggest disappointment of the year, Majesty would never have even crossed my mind.

That seems to draw a lot of pity from people, and I usually leave with some loose change and a small food parcel.Įnough of that, though. ![]() I also always get asked “are you rich?” which I usually answer by pointing to my scruffy haircut and ten-year-old-clothes. I’ve been doing a load of school visits over the last few months and one question I always get asked is “what are your favourite books?” or (from desperate parents) “what can you recommend for my child to read?” ![]() Maybe we could’ve had a few sorry-looking snowmen in gardens, a couple of days of chaos on the trains, people moaning about the dirt on their cars etc. I think I’d have preferred it if they’d had a few transitional days first when all the roads were covered in that really filthy slush you get as the snow’s melting. At the end, when Elsa breaks the curse and melts all the snow in Arendelle, the whole kingdom goes straight back into a lovely summer. It’s a wonderful film but there’s just one bit I don’t like. So, what have I been up to? Well, speaking of Frozen, like most parents of 4 year old girls, I’ve been watching it pretty-much on a loop since Christmas Day. There are probably a few nutters who still have their giant inflatable Olafs-from-Frozen out on their front gardens so maybe I can get away with it. And how are you all?

![]() ![]() ![]() Off to Johnstown to work in a smithy, for example. Before I ever start, though, I make a little map for myself of which individuals and families were active in the last novel, and figure out (1) how old they now are (2) where they live and work (3) if I can do without them realistically, and if so, where I’m sending them. More than once I have saved myself from fictional disaster doing this. Then with the notated character list in front of me, I search through the document for every set of brackets so that I can check them. The first is that when I’m writing a scene that involves a lot of minor characters, I put the names in brackets and leave them that way until I’m finished. Over the years I have worked out a few tricks. The proof readers almost always catch these flubs. It’s almost comical, the machinations I have to go through to make sure I’ve got the right character and the right name, and almost always I mess up something crucial, in spite of the fact that I have detailed notes to consult. ![]() There are, you may or may not know, hundreds of ’em, and more show up all the time. One of the biggest challenges I face is keeping all the characters in the Wilderness novels straight. ![]() ![]() The painting hung at the Plaza for four years, until it was stolen in 1960.

On Thompson’s side, there are photos from her memorable turn opposite Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, and a recording of her “Eloise” theme song, a Top 40 hit in 1956.
